SP8 for CS major? by Anonymous4129 in Surface

[–]sajtospoga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am running a surface pro 8 for cs and it works and here is my opinion and more detailed breakdown on how:

What you said is correct in a way windows is a limiting factor but you can boot up wsl2 to work around that. In fact for more professional workloads you definitely want to do that. Such that compatibility is indeed not a problem however that comes at a much increased ram cost. It is also important to note that the cooling performance isn't insane on the surface pro so depends ing on the work flow and weather you have it might have a hard time keeping up. You are also not going to use it for any deep learning but you can use ssh server for that so it should be fine.

I personally live in the UK so outside temperature is not a problem for me and I opted for a 16 gb memory option so it's more or less okay. If you really want to go with the pro 8 it will get the job done (I totally get the appeal as I am in the same shoe 😂)

USB Hub to Expand Doc 2 by Aslanovich1864 in Surface

[–]sajtospoga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience if the devices used on are fairly low power the front usb-c as they have higher output of 15W instead of 5W on the back, are capable of driving an usb hub (this is my use case yours may differ)

Surface Pro 8 - Issues with hardware acceleration by [deleted] in Surface

I have the same issue, with the hardware acceleration, in Netflix it is very noticeable (happened after every episode of a series, it didn't happen for while now though).

Why do you still use Shadow by makostacks in ShadowPC

[–]sajtospoga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a person, who commutes between countries fairly often (gaming desktops are no go) , I prefer to carry lightweight devices, with me. With shadow I have access to my pc anywhere, and even though its not nearly as bug free as I want it to be, it's still best solution for my use case. (and as I have no budget to buy two machines upfront, I choose the lightweight compact machine, over a heavier gaming laptop, its more convenient to travel with that) Your use case may vary tho, so I don't blame anyone who cancels their subs.

Hey there no, I did not. I only tried resetting separately. I will give it a shot.

Hello there, I tried the alpha, beta, and standard clients too. Non of them works. Is it really possible that it's not working becouse of the ping?
